It will be a flexible, responsive, person-centred support for individuals aged 18 and over from the boroughs of Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent.
It will be open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Hillingdon Crisis House will accept guests who are in crisis who require a level of support to reduce risk/crisis in a non-medical setting.
The Hillingdon Crisis House will support guests in crisis to better self-manage their symptoms and distress in a safe and appropriate environment, in order to reduce activity in Emergency Departments and the wider system including mental health inpatient setting.
